[edit] SCInterface

SCInterface (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Borderline advertisement, although not too gushing. Created by someone from the company that makes it. As I wade through the Google results for SCInterface, they mostly seem to be the company's own promotional material. (And some of them are other uses of the name "SCInterface.") Anyone familiar with game server technology want to comment on the notability of this product? FreplySpang 21:41, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

• Most of the marketing fluff should be out of there. Netarus

• Delete. Appears to be an attempt to promote the products of a company which is not particularly noteworthy or notable. Alternatively, redirect to SCSI. Ohconfucius 08:55, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

• Ohconfucius seems to have not read the article at all. SCSI and SCInterface have no relation. The above comment seems to reference a canned message with no justification. not particularly noteworthy or notable needs to have justification. The product has existed since 2003 and manages 1000s of game servers to date. Netarus

• Comment I'm sorry, but the reference to "not particularly noteworthy or notable", I get 92 GHits, the vast majority either related to scinterface.com (the product's own website), netarus.com sites (the company's own website), or press releases or copies thereof, which completely lack independence. There appears to be a conflict of interest here. Wikipedia is not a soapbox for companies to publicise their products. Ohconfucius 05:17, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete no claim to notability, no sources provided and reads like a marketing piece. BJ^Talk 05:40, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment What's the different between SCInterface and articles like ZPanel? Netarus
    • Comment - Nothing, why the heck it hasn't been deleted I do not know. BJ^Talk 20:03, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
      • Comment If Zpanel should be deleted, why not delete all of these others as well? cPanel, DirectAdmin, Webmin, VHCS, Cube Panel and Plesk?
        • Comment - 3 of them are already up for speedy deletion. BJ^Talk 03:28, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
• Comment SCInterface is currently used behind the scenes of many of the worlds largest game server providers. It is known quite well within the industry. I have been a PHP programmer for years and have known it rather well.jgoulah
• Delete, "well-known" or not aside, no secondary sources seem to exist on this. Notability is not popularity, it is sourcing. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me Please review me!} 18:17, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
